I’m glad he’s doing better. I know a few people were shocked by the pic yesterday. It’s good he’s spreading awareness now!

Wow, people were noting his weight loss in the post about him yesterday.

I'm glad he's in remission. That's so scary he has a family history of that too.

Good for him for getting checked early. More men need to follow his lead and be proactive with their health.

There needs to be PSAs about it and it should really be part of any man's regular check up over the age of 40. It drives me crazy knowing that my dad had to get a yearly physical for his trucking license but somehow this was never checked. And now he's dead.

Not me thinking this was some revelation of the other Steve McQueen

Is this the same Steve McQueen that Sheryl Crow sings about or is that a different one?

Follow-up question - IS that a Sheryl Crow song or am I confusing her work with Liz Phair?

I can't remember the song but she's likely singing about Steve McQueen the 1960s/70s actor, most famous for The Great Escape, The Thomas Crowne Affair, and Bullit. He passed away in the 80s. Steve McQueen the director only rose to fame within the last decade or so.
